Kurt Dupont is a solution provider who would go out of his way just to ensure he brings out the best when it comes to issues that has to deal with data-driven presentations, data visualization, and digital signage software. He started by working at airports worldwide to set up airport databases and flight information screens. This evolved to become the basis for PresentationPoint.
In this conversation, Kurt talks about SignageTube, a new cloud-based digital signage product.
Geetesh: Kurt, what does digital signage mean to you and where does PowerPoint come in the picture?
Kurt: Geetesh, more than 25 years ago, I started working at the airport. And, at the airport, I was building a central database with flights and resource information, and that’s where I got in contact with digital signage for the first time, because some of that flight information is displayed to the staff and passengers at the airport on television, on computer screens. So, that was my first encounter with digital signage. And, of course, that’s the extreme part of digital signage because they have data-driven digital signage.

With the end of the year approaching rapidly it means year-end events, parties, and other celebratory get-togethers. This may mean you have to give a speech, perhaps short and off-the-cuff or longer and prepared. If you’re a business owner or manager, or perhaps you’re receiving an achievement award, you may well find that you are expected to say a few words.
